Refrain

Lay down boys, gonna take a little nap
Lay down boys, gonna take a little nap
Lay down boys, gonna take a little nap
14 miles to Cumberland Gap
(or "Gonna raise hell in the Cumberland Gap")


Cumberland Gap is a place of rocks.
Home of the panther, and the bear and the fox.
First white man ever in Cumberland Gap
Was doctor Walker, an English chap.

[Refrain]

Daniel Boone up on Pinnacle Rock
He killed a bear with an old flint lock
Cumberland Gap is a fearsome place
The shells go off right in your face

[Refrain]

In September of ‘62
Morgan’s Yankees all withdrew
Kirby Smith and his rebel band
He run George Morgan back to Yankee land

[Refrain]

They spiked their guns and let them drop
Over the cliffs of the mountain top
They burn the hay, the mule, and the meat
And left the rebels with nothing to eat

[Final Refrain]

So com’on boys, no time to nap
Com’on boys, now lift your cap
Com’on boys, give a rebel yell
We’ll send those Yankees right to hell
